Server agent The Server agent collects the basic server information, including the server's key subsystems configurations and health information. Table 2 lists the categories of information that the Server agent collects and the sources from which this information is obtained. Table 2.

The storage agent supports HP SmartArray controllers as well as Fiber Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) and SAS HBAs. It also provides basic information on storage box enclosures. The Storage agent obtains most of this information directly from the disk controller firmware, although some of it is obtained directly from the drives (Table 3). Table 3.
